HINTS AND TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED
The following hints and tips will assist in training your users to maximize the fitness benefits of your STAR TRAC PRO STEPPER.
■Step at a rate that feels comfortable and most natural, yet is sufficient to achieve a good cardio workout.
■Try different stepping rhythms. In manual operation, vary your stepping speed from slow to fast, then back to slow.
As you become more comfortable with your Stepper, try stepping faster, varying the difficulty LEVEL, or using the pre-
set programs.
■Watch the Graphic Display to anticipate changes in difficulty. When you use the preset programs, the display
shows changes in difficulty as tall or short columns.
VIEWING WORKOUT DATA DURING A PROGRAM

HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your
workout is too challenging or not challenging enough.
Monitoring your heart rate is easy with the STAR TRAC
PRO STEPPER. You may use a heart rate strap, or you
can simply grasp the silver contact heart rate grips. Your
goal will be to keep your exercise heart rate between 60
and 90 percent of the theoretical maximum for your age,
as shown in the accompanying Target Heart Rate table.
NOTE: The Heart Rate monitor is not a medical test, nor
is it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide to tar-
get heart rate training. Please consult with your physi-
cian prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
NOTE: If both the heart rate grips and a heart rate strap are being used, the heart rate grips will override and be displayed in
the HR window.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer does not warrant the heart rate system performance on this product, as the heart rate system
performance varies, based on a user's physiology, fitness level, age, method of use and other factors. Furthermore, the heart rate
system is not for medical use.
C ONTACT H EART R ATE M ONITORING
You may use the heart rate contact grips to automatically check your heart rate while stepping. Just follow these steps.
1. Grasp the stainless steel heart rate contact grips; you do not have to squeeze tightly.
■When the heart rate contact grips are grasped, the will display and an audible “beep” will sound to indicate that
a heart rate has been detected.
2. It may take from 30 to 60 seconds for the heart rate system to acquire and display your heart rate.
3. When your heart rate has been acquired, the indicator and your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) display in the
HEART RATE field of the Information Window.
4. Release the Heart Rate grips if you wish to remove your heart rate reading from the display.
C HEST S TRAP H EART R ATE M ONITORING
You may use the heart rate strap to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
1. Before beginning your workout, or during a pause, moisten the back of the transmitter on the heart rate strap. Place the
strap snugly around your chest with the transmitter resting directly over your sternum.
2. When your heart rate has been acquired, the indicator and your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) display in the
HEART RATE field of the Information Window.
3. Remove the heart rate strap if you wish to remove your heart rate reading from the display.
NOTE: The performance of the transmitter may be affected by body types, body oils, metal in clothing, and outside electrical inter-
ference. Always be sure that the transmitter and skin are in good contact. Avoid operating other electrical equipment near your
Stepper when you use the heart rate strap.
QUICK START
Quick Start lets you begin your workout by simply pressing one key, or by stepping for approximately 13 seconds without press-
ing any key. Quick Start uses a default weight as set in Manager/Maintenance Mode, a difficulty LEVEL of 1, and a time limit as
set in Manager/Maintenance Mode. YOU control resistance LEVEL during the entire program.
To operate the Quick Start program:
1. Mount the Stepper, begin stepping, and press the QUICK START key.
2. If desired, you can use the personal fan during your workout (see “Using the Personal Fan” for details).
To calculate your training zone, use the following formulas:
(theoretical max HR = 220 - Age)
Heart Rate Training Range Upper Level
_____________________x 0.90 = ___________________________
Your Theoretical Max Training Range Upper Limit
Heart Rate Training Range Lower Level
_____________________x 0.60 = ___________________________
Your Theoretical Max Training Range Lower Limit
NOTE: Calculating your theoretical maximum heart rate
using age is an approximation. For more information, please
contact a fitness professional or doctor.
